Their paths were meant to cross, or so Argenti believes. Wind-blown eyelashes slowly rise and fall, causing the world to fade for a second. Then Argenti opens his eyes, assumes a fighting stance and holds out an ornate spear in his hand. In his other hand, a red rose bud appears, which he, despite all his armors, gently holds.
"A friendly duel in the name of beauty. Be so, my dear friend. But don't think I'll give up so easily."
He swings his spear, hitting the ground with it and causing the wind to rise even stronger.
"Until I see that light once more..."
His gaze takes on a serious look, causing his facial features to perk up. His hair continues to flutter in the wind.
"...I will protect all beauty in the universe..."
Argenti gently touches the rose with the tips of his lips, after which it is picked up by a wind current.
"...For Idrila."
